If either versions find an error, there is a problem somewhere. Let me
know which version finds the error for you (I'm interested to see how
well Charles' improvements work :)).
You said you had 256 MB of ram, so you'll probably want to run the
program with "220" or so as an argument (so that you still have some
memory left). This program doesn't test everything (just the RAM that
the kernel maps to it), but it has worked for me pretty well in the past
and has usually been much faster than professional testers.
